Alberta aims to attract international students through new bureau
The Government of Alberta is launching a new strategy to attract international students and researchers to the province.
$1.5 million will be spent on the creation of a new not-for-profit organization called the Alberta Bureau for International Education (ABIE).
Minister of Advanced Education Demetrios Nicholaides says ABIE will showcase the innovation and strength of Alberta’s post-secondary system to talented students from around the world.
“Two of our largest universities already attract many international students every year – this is about showcasing what our entire post-secondary system has to offer,” says Nicholaides. “ABIE will work to showcase the diversity of higher education available in our province, like the polytechnic institutions and colleges. We are excited to take this important step and look forward to announcing further details in the near future.”
